In My Father's House Act I. Belongings Belonging: Wash tubThe ground for these objects, each displayed in a different site -
Albemarle County Office Building, Ash Lawn Highland, Paramount Theater,
and Bayly Art Museum - is a gridded floor cloth. Their backdrop is wallpaper
representing a murder of perching crows. The spaces are darkened. The "belongings"
beckon to events stored in our memory. But there is no clear meaning. Our
memory is dimmed. For some there is no memory, or worse, only false memory.
For others, the only memory that will do is to forget.

BenchmarkThis piece honors our belief in open dialogue and discovery, the foundation
of any respectful relationship among equals, whether in love, learning,
or the rule of law. This sculptural bench ensemble creates an environment,
both physical and psychological, that celebrates a continuation of the
Jeffersonian tradition of civil exchange as a touchstone for the new millennium.

to understand natural history and the many fruits of the expedition.

AngusJefferson understood the need for a harmonious balance in the landscape
between fields and pastures and buildings and roads. Through the use of
hay bales and asphalt, Angus explores the unavoidable tension between
the traditional farming way of life in Virginia and the dynamic growth
that threatens the pastoral use of land around Charlottesville.

Notation IIA copper bar embedded in stone is left outdoors to weather. In time
a verdigris and red stain will flow from the copper. The blood of suffering
is not forgotten.

Megan MarlattHow the Mind Travels This work involves paintings on pavement of the shadows of birds
flying south for migration. The birds represent how the mind travels, the
freedom of thought patterns and the pursuit of great ideas.

Table of PlentyThe tableau for the bees rests beneath the ominous cloud inside the
labyrinth that puzzles us at all levels of existence. The bee is genetically
driven to resolve its own chaos by constructing what for us is yet another
mysterious labyrinth. The honeycomb is a living mandala, another signpost
in Jorge Luis Borge's Garden of Forking Paths.
Nature MorteThe artificial tree must fall. We attempt to encapsulate the essence
of the egg. Will we be gods, seeding new planets and new species? Or will
we be left with only a laboratory of crutches?

A Short History of DecayInspired by numerous literary sources and Jefferson's own investigations
of the natural world, this copper sculpture growing from the grounds melds
images of the uproarious forms in nature with ubiquitous manmade cast-offs.

The Metamorphosis of a Scientific Article Produced in Mr.
Jefferson's University in the Year 2000Addressing the creative process in science and art, the installation
evolved as a collaboration with the artist's husband, a physicist, into
a portrait of their marriage, creativity, and aging. The matted fur backing
of her husband's recycled scientific papers, the negation of the comfort
of warmth by the intrusion of violence, the reference to body parts and
the distressed, destroyed, and layered surfaces all reflect the drama of
life.

Opening Closed BooksJefferson wrote, "I cannot live without books." Throughout his life
he collected over 6,000 volumes that he classified under the Enlightenment
rubrics of Memory, Reason, and Imagination. This installation interprets
Jefferson's commitment to culture as the condition of possibility for creating
a new and better future.

Todd MurphyNatural HistoriesFusing a fascination with natural history museums and the genealogical
mystery of Sally Hemings, the installation features works on canvas and
intimate "specimen sculptures." the resulting painted photographs and altered
objects are theatrical and symbolically fragmented, open narratives that
question issues of identity, ancestry and being itself.

the essence of Jefferson's era in the prose and poetry of Virginia's writers
(including Jefferson) and writers about Virginia and the revolutionary
power of art. These writings, etched into granite stones and placed flat
into the ground, were selected by the artist and students involved in the
University's Art Board.
